French Icarian Village

French Icarian Village Learn the unique history of French immigrants whose philosophy brought them to Adams County, Iowa to establish an equalitarian community.

The Village is a living history museum being developed on 34 acres of original Icaria land in southwest Iowa. At the heart of the development is the restored Icaria Cemetery, 1878 communal dining hall and 1860 one room schoolhouse. The Village interprets the history of six Icaria Colonies in America that were part of a social experiment begun in France in the 1840s. The Iowa colony was established

in 1852 and disbanded in 1898, making it the longest-lived non-religious communal experiment in US history. The Village priovides an Icarian experience that invites, educates and engages visitors.
